Having spent this last Saturday at Los Congos staking out planting locations for fruit and reforestation trees and plants, I am excited to announce that our reforestation event. On Saturday our team will be at Los Congos working with Chris Shanks to get the ball rolling. Planting is a continuous process and will occur over the next several years. The planting will consist of hundreds of fruit trees, hundreds of indigenous trees, nitrogen fixers, and erosion control plants. Orchards will be plants with many different varieties so that fruits do not go to waste. Orchards will produce for many months because are using a wide variety of fruit and fruit species. Many hardwood and fruit bearing indigenous trees will be planted to reforest areas that had previously been farmland. These trees will provide canopy and shelter for animals and other plant life. Those that bear fruit will provide food for both the animals and the human visitors. Vetiver grass, dead barriers, and stone check dams will be used to decrease erosion and silt runoff. Vetiver grass grows quickly without spreading. This grass works amazingly well for stabilization; its roots grow straight down creating steel like mesh below ground. We hope to acquire over 9,000 vetiver shoots for planting within the next couple weeks. Lastly, we will be creating our nursery that will grow plants and trees to be planted within Los Congos.
